Say Cheese

 This week at Creative Knockouts, our challenge is Birthday Greetings.

I used Birthday Cheese from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps for my project.  While I was working on it, I had the idea to make the picture into a shaker element.  It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it took me four tries to get it right!  When making a shaker, be sure your frame is pointing the correct direction as you are gluing on the acetate and foam!

Do the Things

 This week at Creative Knockouts or theme is for the boys.

I used Caffeinated Craig from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps for my project. I colored the image with Copic markers and cut out the image with the Silhouette Cameo.  Unfortunately, there was some technical difficulties and my image was cut incorrectly.  One of these days I will learn to cut out the image BEFORE I color it.  I am not even sure what happened.  I think the blade got stuck in the paper somehow.

I feel the sentiment on this card every morning when I get up for work.  I have to have my coffee then do the things. =P  The mesh on this card has been rolling around in my stash for SO LONG!  It is Magic Mesh from Stampin' Up! and I feel like it is so great for a card for a guy.  I only used a little for this so I will have it rolling around in my stash for a little while longer.

BFF

 Welcome back to Creative Knockouts.  Our challenge this week is to finish the inside.  I have to admit, I rarely do.  Most times I don't have a recipient in mind, so I finish the inside once I am ready to give the card.

I used Tyson and Topsy from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps for my project.  These guys were colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  A little silver Wink of Stella on the collar studs adds a little shimmer.  I tried to make the sweet kitty look like an orange tabby.  Not too terrible I guess!

My favorite way to finish the inside is some matching paper and embellishments from the front.  And yes...I know...I realized all too late that the second "F" on the front is forever.  I will probably make an adjustment and add a paw print asterisk to the front and "best friends fur-ever" as the sentiment inside.

Stop and Smell the Flowers

This week at Creative Knockouts, our challenge is to use your favorite embellishment.

This image is Bertha's Bloomin' Box from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.  I wanted to use a backround paper that kind of looks like a wall.  I found this weathered board paper in the Flock Together collection from Gennifer Bursett available digitally on Snap Click Supply.  I thought the colors were so fun and fit this lady's personality.  My favorite embellishments are lace, ribbon, and buttons.  I got two of the three in this card!  The sentiment is a sticker from a Spellbinders card kit of the month.

You Rock!

Welcome back to another challenge at Creative Knockouts.  Our theme this week is For the Boys!

I would like to introduce you to Davey Dunderton from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.  He is quite the cool dude and loves to rock!  He was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The sentiment is computer generated using a font I found online ages ago.  He has a little clear Wink of Stella on his guitar to give it that show ready shine!

This week at Creative Knockouts, your challenge is anything goes.  We want to see whatever you can come up with this week!

This is Spells for Beginners from Dr. Digi.  I just love this wizard character!  There are a couple of them in the shop.  You should go check it out.  I colored him with Copic markers and cut him out using the Silhouette cameo.  He has gold Wink of Stella on his book corners and lock and clear on the orb of his staff.  A little texture from some twine and embossing makes for a great contrast to the text patterned paper.  The stars were the negatives from the Rubbernecker Stamps stars die I used on another project.  They were covered with some clear Wink of Stella to give them a bit of sparkle.

Magical Birthday

This week at Creative Knockouts, we have a for the boys challenge theme.  I have had to do several of these lately, so I am starting to get over the stress of having to make masculine cards.

This is Wizz Doodles from Dr.Digi.  I colored him with Copic markers and his magic was colored with Copic Spica pens.  They have so much more sparkle in real life.  The area around his hands also has clear Wink of Stella for some extra sparkle.  I created the sentiment using the Silhouette Design software.  It is hard to see in the picture, but the word "magical" is filled with a star pattern.
